im just scared if he plays for us this year, hes just gunna "go through the motions" like a teammate of his said he did 2 years ago when he only got 2.5 sacks...plus i think if we were to trade him at all then this is the year to do it cuz hes only gunna get older...an i honestly dont think he will be worth the money we would pay him if we locked him up long term...id rather get a first rounder an maybe a 2nd or 3rd

how about another option:

"I will be cheering for my team, not for peppers, and I will feel good about doing it."

He said he doesn't want to be here anymore. If he can't get something worked out and is forced to be here again there is nothing wrong with the feeling being mutual.

If he has to be here I expect that he and we will make the best out of it but neither party involved has to like it. If he decided that he wanted to be here then it would be different. For now, though, he is simply a tool. Take that however you want to.

He is just a means to get what we want, which is a better team. If he can be here and work his butt off, I don't care about his motivation. If he can be traded for someone who wants to be here and can make the team better then I want that.

I don't want what's best for peppers. I want what's best for the panthers.

Anyone else frustrated over the fact nothing is being reported anywhere about the Peppers situation. ESPN and the NFL Network have not mention him at all although they talk about other players that could be moved in trades. Local guys like Gantt and Reed have not posted anything about it either. There were more stories being posted last off season about a Peppers trade than this year. Even profootballtalk has said nothing about it either and they has the Panthers trading Peppers to just about every team last year.

Does this mean Peppers is here for another season? Seems to me that lack of any news or even rumors is very telling and that Peppers will be back next season.

Adam Schefter had his list of 'Top 25 free agents' and even with honorable mentions, no Julius.

(perception is a funny thing)

If he stays and actually plays to potential, people here will treat him like a god.

If he stays and plays the same way as before, people will argue about him (same as they're doing now).

If he stays and gets worse, get out the torches and pitchforks.

On the flipside...

If he leaves and actually plays to potential elsewhere, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth, and the 'Fire Fox' train will have many people shoveling coal into it's boiler.

If he leaves and plays the same way as before, people will argue about him (same as they're doing now, but with the added debate over whether or not we were adequately compensated).

If he leaves and gets worse, the laughter will reach to the heavens.

That pretty much sums it up. Personally, I will be a Peppers fan until the day he leaves, even though he has irritated the hell out of me lately.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
